Red Wine--A Healthy Resolution for a New Year

Another January and another resolution to be healthier. Many of my pals have embarked on a stepped up exercise routine. Me, too, but I'm also including the elbow exercise---the one that calls for the slight lift of the wine glass to the lips:)

Good thing scientific evidence reveals that drinking red wine offers some hard evidence to support this brand of admittedly low stress exertion. Studies have identified a substance in red wine which provides health benefits.

Resveratrol is linked to prevention of heart disease and diabetes,helps to improve memory,foster weight loss, boost energy, and maybe reduce wrinkles. Reason enough to sip red wine. It's gotten a lot of attention lately. 60 Minutes did a story about it not long ago.

A new year is good time to go beyond Merlot. (BTW, I'm not dissing Merlot-I was recently gifted with a fabulous bottle of Duckhorn Vineyards 2007 Napa Valley Merlot. It is smooth and has a plummy spicy bouquet (also pricey--did I mention it was a gift?)

But, I figure if you are going to take advantage of red wine's health benefits, you might as well sample a variety of reds. I had a great time last week putting together an all red six pack for my friend Marcy. Right away push back --she told me right off "I'm not a fan of Chianti." I persuaded her to try it, after all this was not the straw wrapped Chianti bottle of her salad days, but Chianti Classico. Later, she sent me a text "The Chianti is gooooddd!" She didn't love everything I suggested, but that's okay. Wine is, in many ways, a personal taste--what may stimulate my palette may be a big blah for yours. However, what is true is that the more you taste, the more you broaden your palette.

Ongoing scientific studies continue to confirm the health benefits of red wine, even as there is no consensus about how much red wine you need to drink to gain the benefit. Doctors do agree with the old adage-- too much of a good thing is not good, and certainly not healthy. Best recommendation---no more than two 5 oz glasses a day. Just one of those gigantic wine bar goblets filled to the brim and you are way over the limit.

The health promise of Resveratrol is such that you can now buy it in pill form.

Let's see, a pill versus a great Cabernet to go with my steak. No contest.

Soon he has to decide if Norway will support a World Bank loan to South Africa’s state energy utility Eskom. NGOs in the Nordic countries have joined forces with civil society groups in South Africa, USA,

Bangladesh and India in urging the World Bank Board of Directors to say no to giving a loan for the building of the Medupi coal-fired power plant in South Africa’s Limpopo province.

I just moved to the US and I'm having trouble finding international and national news merged into one show. I just want the traditional news where the anchor reads the introduction, he/she talks about it, a video is shown and she just moves onto the next story.

I dont' want a discussion show, just traditional news :) Thank you. Please tell me what channel the show is on and what time as well as the timezone you're referring to. Thank you

Eyeglass lenses are commonly made from plastic, including CR-39 and polycarbonate. These materials reduce the danger of breakage and weigh less than glass lenses. Some plastics also have more advantageous optical properties than glass, such as better transmission of visible light and greater absorption of ultraviolet light.[1] Some plastics have a greater index of refraction than most types of glass; this is useful in the making of corrective lenses shaped to correct various vision abnormalities such as myopia, allowing thinner lenses for a given prescription.

next week I'll be presenting my graduation project. i was looking for on this topic all day. your blog looks really interesting for me what I want to congratulate all the information and the work I do on his blog. great work

The host was praised for saving the best wine for last because most hosts brought out the bad stuff after the guests had too much to drink. So keep this in mind. Perhaps the resolution should be MORE WINE, fewer shots!
